Breeur, Roland
In his introduction to Being and Nothingness, Sartre reintroduces his specific notion of consciousness as intentionality, while claiming that it is "born directed on a being which is not itself". This means that consciousness has to accomplish an ontological task, namely the disclosure of Being. Hence its very birth is called "the ontological proof". What does this mean? How should we interpret this notion of proof? This article aims to answer these questions, and to analyse the problems evoked by Sartre's notion of consciousness.
